from Argument
Remember not what we thought during the frost, what we said in the small hours, what we did in the desert. Spare us, lest of our own volition we draw down the avalanche of your anger: lest we suffer the tragic fate of the insects,
O Four Just Men, spare us.
From the immense bat-shadow of home; from the removal of landmarks: from appeals for love and from the comfortable words of the devil,
O Dixon Hawke, deliver us.
From all opinions and personal ties; from pity and shame; and from the wish to instruct,
O Sexton Blake, deliver us.
From all nervous excitement and follies of the will; from the postponed guilt and the deferred pain; from the oppression of noon and from the terror in the night,
O Bulldog Drummond, deliver us.
– W.H. Auden, The Orators (1931)
